01SAN LEANDRO EQUITY PLANTo Our San Leandro Community, <br />Our vibrant city is made up of a beautiful myriad of cultures, stories, and points of view. <br />Whether it’s the historical development of our city or the cultural shifts that resulted <br />over the years, we are a diverse city of change. <br />To this end, we have invested in a Diversity Equity and Inclusion plan to project our <br />collective future goals. The following Equity Plan is the first step on our journey towards <br />embedding workforce diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging (DEIB) and employee <br />well-being in our government structures, policies, procedures, and practices that <br />promote a welcoming municipality for all. <br />This Plan is the result of countless hours of thought partnership, collaboration, input <br />and feedback by our employees and community members through individual interviews, <br />focus groups, surveys, and group processes. The process represents the consensus <br />decisions of employee and community work groups for: <br /> • Improved access to government services, programs, resources, and structures <br /> • Increased diversity of the workforce <br /> • Centering DEIB as core values for San Leandro <br /> • Advancing policies, practices, procedures, and structures that support employee <br /> well-being and belonging <br />This effort of co-creation and co-ownership will sustain our joint efforts to implement the <br />strategies outlined in this Plan and ensure that we hold ourselves accountable for the <br />desired outcomes. This Plan is a starting point for aligning DEIB with City strategic goals <br />and priorities. <br />Reimagining city government as a place where everyone belongs, supports employee <br />well-being, and improves employee productivity, retention, and service to residents is <br />happening. I look forward to the journey ahead as San Leandro begins the practice of <br />belonging and we grow stronger, better together for our residents and employees alike. <br />In partnership, <br />Fran Robustelli <br />City Manager <br />CITY MANAGER’S LETTER
